SM Rosales joins Earth Hour
JOINING the global observance of Earth Hour last March 23, SM City Rosales lit up candles around a giant eco-bag as it turned off all lights in the mall at exactly 8:30 p.m., simultaneous with the rest of the world.
“Earth Hour sends a message of both hope and action,” said SM City Rosales Mall Manager Catherine Garcia.
The SM chain of malls has been a consistent participant in the Earth Hour event, an annual environmental campaign spearheaded by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) to raise awareness and action to help mitigate climate change.
SM encourages its consumers to use recycle shopping bags, or eco-bags, to help decrease plastic bag production.
MEDICAL MISSION
Meanwhile, SM Foundation Inc. sponsored two medical and dental missions in Pangasinan last March 22-23.
SM City Rosales hosted the mission on March 22 with more than 1, 259 beneficiaries from Rosales and nearby towns while Savemore Bayambang helped organize the medical mission at UVMW Bayambang District Hospital on March 23 with more than 1, 433 recipients from Bayambang.
The missions were held in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross- Pangasinan Chapter, Rosales Health Unit, Mangaldan Rural Health Unit, 54th Engineer Brigade Philippine Army in Manaoag, and Bankers Institute of the Philippines (BAIPHIL).
